How do you design a good tower?

Hmmm how to make a good tower. Anyone play Final Fantasy Legend I or II? That game was all about the climb!

How do you design a good tower?

Yes, all 104 floors. The year after 9/11 happened, I took my friend to Chicago, it was her first time there. Coming down from the Sears Tower's observation deck, they put you out on the street in a special exit only. There were 4 men taking pictures in front of the exit only. They were all posing for several photos. In front of a security checkpoint that outside of being an exit, it was just a wall. There was nothing to see there.

It looked very suspiscious.

As for my tower in game, it is 6 floors, complete with an outside that you can edge along and find treasures and monsters. :-) You also need to get past the guards to get in. There is a sign that reads "stay out of sight...."

Thanks so much Slashy! This is the first cave / pit thing that the player dives in to kick off the game :-)

I just think water in a cave looks a lot better than a bottomless pit. Plus you can do lil waterfalls. You should see a later cave that has more water and less land, It is really beautiful in that one :-)

EpiQuest

The game is almost at 150 downloads! Wow! I'm surprised! :-)

For the next version, I have added boats. 2 row boats that you can take around and explore. You need to find them first, but they are in fairly obvious places. I am not exactly sure what I should have them trade for their boats...

One of the places that you can find with the west rowboat is an iron mine called Naiath. Inside the mine there is a mine cart that you can ride in and ram through enemies! The only catch is it cannot ram through the stone rubble that blocks the track. You will need to clear the track with a pick axe. Using the mine carts lead to otherwise hidden areas. There are even switches to switch the tracks :-) It is a very nice diversion.

edchuy wrote me a great letter about what is good with the game :-) It made me very happy.

Mining, Forging and how its Fun

You'd be dead before you know it.

Sometime next week I guess. I still have a castle of a prison to make. One thing though. Once the Joni story ends, there is no story for the second region. You just go. People tell you stuff, and guide you, but there is no grand story.

EpiQuest

Fixed the switch error.

How do you design a good tower?

Sears Tower = built before cannon balls :-) I have learned a lot.

EpiQuest

Great idea Lightning Lord. Hopefully people will read the "Known Issues." :-)

I have easily fixed the Heal / Cure Orb situation.

Fixed the picture not going away :-) And yes that is very annoying when the picture doesn't go away.

The easy way to fix it without me updating is to talk with someone else, but if you have no one else to talk to but Seary, then it might be tough.

ok now to make the known issues checklist.

EpiQuest

Hmmm... interesting glitch. I will check it in the morning. I'm just thrilled 2 people played far enough to find the glitches! :-)

edit: You can still obviously get past it right? At least one of you has gotten as far as the game goes.
